State-hired goons have stormed a meeting where the KHRC and other CSOs were discussing the 2026-2027 budget that was presented yesterday. One of the assailants was arrested and said he was sent by a government official. Some valuables, including a phone, were stolen during the incident. The civil society held this meeting at All Saints Cathedral in Nairobi to assess how well the budget addressed citizen concerns. We condemn this act of intimidation and assert that it will not deter us from scrutinizing the budget. We will continue to demand that it put the interests of the people at front and center.

. Hon. FCPA John Mbadi Ng'ongo, EGH, this youth says that you dispatched them to disrupt a meeting at All Saints Cathedral that was scrutinizing the budget you presented yesterday. Mbadi, you cannot distance yourself from this attack by the goons. You must take responsibility for your actions and for those of the goons who acted at your behest. Public participation and scrutiny of the national budget are our democratic rights.

State-sponsored militia attacked two journalists and stole a laptop and phones during a press conference by Kenyan mothers condemning arbitrary arrests, enforced disappearances, and extrajudicial killings during protests. This CCTV footage clearly shows the individuals who took the items. We urge you to help identify their names. The DCI KENYA must act on this evidence, arrest and arraign the perpetrators, and ensure the immediate return of the stolen devices.

This is the message Hon. FCPA John Mbadi Ng'ongo, EGH did not want to get out. But guess what? It’s bigger and louder. Mbadi’s budget did not prioritise the people. Mbadi must resign or be forced out for sending goons to attack Kenyans who were scrutinising his budget. He must face the law, too.

Police have shot four protesters, as witnessed by KHRC, killing one. We strongly condemn the police killing. Such actions are unacceptable and constitute a grave violation of human rights. Justice and accountability are imperative. We will vigorously push for police accountability. #RejectFinanceBill2024

#PressStatement Hooded police officers deployed in Nanyuki, Laikipia, fired live bullets and arbitrarily arrested 19 protesters as of 11 am today. Residents took to the streets, demanding that William Ruto’s regime disclose agreements, negotiations, safety checks, approvals, and operational protocols related to a U.S.-linked Ebola facility that it said will be established in the county. Protesters also called for assurances regarding public health safety. KHRC has verified reports and reviewed videos showing police moving through the area on motorbikes and in white Land Cruisers and Subarus with removed or concealed license plates, as officers attacked protesters and journalists. The conduct of police contravenes the law. KHRC demands that police respect the right to protest, provide security for protesters, unconditionally release all those detained, and ensure that they are clearly identifiable. KHRC continues to monitor, document, and respond to reported abuses, with the aim of holding police officers and their commanders accountable for violations.

A former cabinet secretary, Hon. Justin Muturi, EGH, has exposed William Samoei Ruto, PhD’s deep-seated corruption, linking him to the dubious Adani deals. Ruto must be held accountable for the corruption and misgovernance under his regime. Kenyans, this further proves Ruto’s unfitness for public office. We have the sovereign power to get a fit person in the office.

The court has released human rights defenders Francis Mutunge, John Mulingwa, and Mark Amiani on a cash bail of Sh200,000 each. Their arrest by DCI officers on June 26 was an unlawful attempt to silence their right to protest and call for change. But guess what? We’re more ready than ever for #SabaSaba.
